An Introduction to Islam Islam is not a new religion, but the same truth that God revealed through all His prophets to every people. For a fifth of the world's population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the majority have nothing to do with the extremely grave events which have come to be associated with their faith.

BASIC TEACHING OF ISLAMThe cornerstone of Islam is "Tauhid", i.e. Monotheism. "Tauhid" means belief in only one God and that existence in general-- among other things the order of nature--is a manifestation of His grand design, as well as turning to God in prayer and glorification, away from worshipping any other.

Islamic Foundation of North AmericaThe Islamic Foundation of North America is dedicated to the establishment of a viable Islamic educational structure for today and tomorrow. We seek to create a systematic approach to the study of Islam by designing standardized curricula and syllabi that any school, home school or weekend school can implement for maximum benefit.

The Islamic CalendarThe Islamic calendar (or Hijri calendar) is a purely lunar calendar. It contains 12 months that are based on the motion of the moon, and because 12 synodic months is only 12 x 29.53=354.36 days, the Islamic calendar is consistently shorter than a tropical year, and therefore it shifts with respect to the Christian calendar.
